1999 Holden Vectra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt broke at 115km; needed the engine rebuilt.
Various sensors failed.
Rubbers deteriorated and needed replacing.
Interior rubbers disintegrated.
Black trims under windows fell off.
Constantly needed wheel alignments.
Timing belt pulley broke at 125km; engine needed rebuilding again.
General comments?
The car was very fuel efficient, but the above faults outweighed any fuel savings.
Basically these cars are lemons.
